Box 32 - Preferred Strategy for Water Supply and Wastewater Resource Management

Representation ID: 19313

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: South East Water Ltd

Agent: Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd

Representation Summary:

We welcome acknowledgement that additional water resources may need to be developed over the plan period and that land may need to be allocated accordingly.
The Core Strategy should show understanding of the water planning process. The draft Water Resource Management Plan includes a scheme to raise Bewl Reservoir.
The scheme,will not be needed until 2020 at the earliest. The commitment to safeguarding and allocating land to allow the raising of Bewl in the future is therefore fully supported.

The Core Strategy should have sufficient flexibility to accommodate other water resource schemes that may emerge in the water resource planning process.

Box 32 - Preferred Strategy for Water Supply and Wastewater Resource Management

Representation ID: 19315

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: South East Water Ltd

Agent: Adams Hendry Consulting Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is considered safeguarding, in the absence of an allocation, will not assist in the delivery of schemes and allocation is essential. Section v should be amended, (additional text is underlined):

(v) Safeguarding the potential need for the enlargement of Bewl Water Reservoir and/or Darwell reservoir or other schemes that are identified through the water companies' statutory planning process and, if necessary, allocating land to ensure that capacity increases can be delivered in a timely fashion.

We would wish to see the inclusion of a further bullet point:

(vi) Supporting schemes to maintain and improve the water supply network within the District.

Respondent: South East Water Ltd

Representation Summary:

South East Water welcomes the acknowledgement that water supply infrastructure and reservoir expansion, as necessary, will be needed to support the strategy. The need for additional water resources may however not be restricted to reservoir expansion and this should be reflected within the text.
We would recommend adding the following bullet point:
• Water resource development as identified in the water companies' statutory planning process.
